Volunteer Services and Lap Robes

Liz Capoferri, Supervisor of Volunteer Services at Ancora Psychiatric Hospital , came to our June meeting to ask members if they would like to make "Lap Robes".

Lap Robes are usually 36" x 36" and can be knitted or crocheted. Do not add fringe because they can get caught up in wheelchairs. Here are few links that may help you with ideas and patterns.

Lap Robes offer a touch of home to a patient's room and are source of comfort to them. There are no deadlines. Completed lab robes can be dropped off at the Library. I will contact Liz to arrange for a pickup.

Welcome to your Blog!

Welcome to the Knitting and Crochet Club @ the South County Regional Branch Library, located in Winslow Township New Jersey. The Club meets the fourth Monday of every month at 7 p.m. till 8:45 p.m. and is open to ages 12 and up.

This is a great club for those who want to learn a new hobby, get support for a difficult pattern or just want to dust off their needles and hooks.

The club originally started with 50 people showing up to learn how to knit!
(I will not bring up the dreaded slip knot again...Let's just say, we will do it anyway we can.)
We are now a group of around 20 to 30 kniters and crocheters of various skill levels. And what a great group of people!

Please feel free to post questions, talk about the books you must have and events or places that may be of interest to the group.

Happy Blogging!
